Has anybody here tried playing RE4 on dolphin, either the original gc version or the wii edition? It plays drat near flawlessly when there is actual gameplay going on, but when playing a video it'll play fine for like 30 seconds and then the audio desyncs from the picture (which gets stuck) and then the whole thing freezes. If I skip the movies the game will continue on normally...but then I can't watch the movies. This happens even at native game res and no graphics enhancements whatsoever and on both versions of the game :(

Desyncing shouldn't be happening on recent build, what version are you using?

Currently 4.0-5637 but about to upgrade to whatever is latest on the website...

I dunno what the technicals behind "desync"are but the video fps drops to like 1-5 when playing, but is constant 30 during gameplay.

E: now on 5656 and same thing. Also, forgot to mention that I had to switch the audio back end to OpenAL and increase the latency to 8 just to get the movies to play at all, and not just go at 0fps.

Nope.

It's weird, GPU usage will spike to 99% and the movie will crap out for a minute or so, and then a scene change in-movie will happen and GPU will drop down to 20-30% for about 15-20 seconds, then another scene change and GPU goes back up to 99% and it craps out again. :S

Still haven't solved the movie desync issue, but now that I've used them I've also noticed that using save States even once will make the game poo poo itself and start playing at 15-20 fps constantly. Ugh.

Big props to Suspicious Dish though, you guys on the Dolphin team are doing amazing things with this emulator!

I asked our devs and they've never heard of this bug before. Try using the latest nightly release on the OGL engine, with otherwise stock settings.
Okay, doing all three. Game definitely seems to run slower unless I use OpenAL and increase the latency though.

Movies can play, or at least play for a long time, if I haven't used save states as well, I am finding. Don't know if this required restart of just the emulator, or the whole system though, because I've done both.

E: With xaudio2: Audio from HDMI to TV through video card to causes crackling, audio through creative audigy dedicated sound card does not?

With OpenAL: latency at 7 seems to be the sweet spot for me through hdmi, but it always crackles through the sound card, even at default latency.

After deleting the My Documents\Dolphin Emulator folder and trying again, now even the game is slower and movies are no go. But I'm away from home now so can't fiddle with it some more right now.

I just headed to the citra site and noticed more retail games in their screenshot roll, seems like a lot more stuff is making it in-game (nothing is playable yet). It's progressing ridiculously fast and it may be a matter of months before stuff is fully playable. It reminds me of how quickly PPSSPP progressed in 2013.
No kidding. it's crazy how i only updated like 2 weeks ago and there already been like 100 commits since then. You reminded me to update lol

Don't know if anybody cares, but I gave this custom build a try last night and was getting an extra 5-10 fps in Rogue Squadron on my old q6600. Might/probably would be a good boost for other games I'd imagine.

Thanks for the link! Sorry if this is super obvious, only scanned the page for a second (on my phone at the moment) - is this specifically for Bluetooth connections or will it work for USB as well?

You can also try Better DS3. Works for BT and USB (which is how I used to use it).

Uses the Motion in Joy backend, but without going online.

It's just better to use the xinput stuff instead of dealing with 'just the backend' of a rootkit.

You are right and I should say my gaming computer isn't hooked up to the net so I didn't have to worry about it (although I would like to know if there is actually anything confirmed going on in the background when using BetterDS3 and not just your guy's not unfounded paranoia).

However,

Without obviously going online.

The MotionInJoy driver comes from the same people who thought system privileges for a control panel with Internet ads was a good idea. Because of how it's built, this means whatever cryptoware/evidence planters/password skimmers/other garbage is in Internet ads these days (because not even Google does due diligence screening ad submissions before circulating them) ALSO gets system privileges. The implications are obvious and staggering, and I shouldn't have to explain why the driver would be suspect even if you never pulled the front-end off the host that the driver came from.

They can go gently caress themselves and you should be ashamed of yourself for giving them the time of day.

This is just :laffo:

2 things:

1. Timesplitters 2 needs to have MMU enabled in the game settings to work properly, but it isn't enabled by default as of build 9399.

2. Spiderman 2 runs super slow in ogl and has crazy problems in dx11 where random textures are either not being loaded or are being made transparent so you end up seeing through buildings and Spidey is just a pair of glowing eyes.

Super Mario Galaxy looks so good in HD, it's ridiculous. I actually feel kinda bad for the devs being quite obviously held back by hardware limitations from showing off what they were able to accomplish.

If I were to want to request Dolphin being able to support ds3/4 sixaxis/gyro for emulated wiimote control, would that be best off as a "bug report" on the tracker that can be converted by you guys, or just a thread in the Controller section of the forum?

So according to my bug report getting silently listed as a duplicate and removed, the spidey 2 being completely broken in dx11 issue has been known for a whole year but no one ever bothered to update the wiki entry for it.

That's been fixed.

Y'all should check out emucr. They got daily builds of like everything emu related. Including new builds of n64 plugins, so you might wanna give those a try for bk whoever was asking.

Spiderman 2 field report: seems to work pretty well except for the occasional flashing of some weird psychedelic textures up until the mysterio fight near the beginning of the game. After the final marker for the floating maze thing there's a loading screen that it can't pass no matter what settings I've tried so far. It's getting there!

I used that custom build to finally beat both games on 00/Perfect agent

Those games own so hard when you can actually play them at 60fps
